3 Card Poker

3 Card Poker is a game that consists of two separate games and the player may choose to play one of these or both. The first option – ANTE means playing against a dealer, the second – PAIR PLUS BONUS means a wager on whether the player has a PAIR or higher hand.

The game starts by placing a bet on ANTE or PAIR PLUS BONUS, or both. The dealer then deals 3 cards face down on each bet and him/her. If the player has made an ANTE bet, then he/she must decide whether to continue by placing an equal additional bet and setting the cards under the bet (compared to standard table poker, with additional bets always equalling double the ANTE value, in this game the additional bet equals the ANTE value). In case the player doesn't like his/her cards, then it is possible to fold.

If the player decides to continue, then the dealer turns over his/her cards. If the dealer has at least a Queen or higher hand, then it is compared to the player's hand. The one to have the highest hand is the winner!

If the dealer has no hand, then the payout is only for ANTE 1:1 and the additional bet is retained. If on the other hand the player has managed to get a Straight, Three of a Kind or a Straight Flush, then the player has won the additional ANTE BONUS (see the table).

The second option is to bet on the PAIR PLUS BONUS – by getting a PAIR or a higher hand the player wins, even if the dealer has no hand or has a higher hand!
